Surely it is up to us "the football supporter" to behave and show that we can act responsibily or do we just accept that football supporters cannot control themselves?Perhaps I am being foolish but I think better of my fellow football supporter. After 7/7 we carried on, we got through decades of the IRA threat without calling off games. During WW2 football more or less carried on. As a society we cannot give in to thugs. Perhaps we should remember to "keep calm and carry on!"

You're about the same age as me so years of experiencing home and away games must tell you that anything can happen at any game. The police have higher priorities at the moment and I will fully understand if the game is called off.
